參考答案：
1．B．結(jié)核病多發(fā)于肺部，這是一般的常識。
2．C．die of意思是“死于某種疾病”，其它三個介詞都不與die搭配。
3．A。本句后半部說到，由于艾滋病的傳播和抗藥型結(jié)核病的出現(xiàn)，那么根據(jù)推理，結(jié)核病自然應(yīng)該增加，而不可能“減少”或“消失”。至于“變化”，不應(yīng)該是結(jié)核病本身發(fā)生變化，而應(yīng)該是發(fā)病率發(fā)生變化。
4．B．從本句的前后句可以推測到本句想說的是“病人每天必須服用幾種抗生素藥物”，而服藥只能選擇take，其它幾個動詞都不合適。
5．D．答題時請注意句首的But這個詞，顯然與上句意思發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)折，而四個選項(xiàng)中as if、as though都是“仿佛，宛如”的意思，aS far as則是“至于…，就…而言”的意思，填在這里均不合適，只有as soon as(“一…就…”)才恰當(dāng)。
6．C．本空白處后面有介詞to，雖然這幾個選項(xiàng)均可與to連用，但意思各不相同：refer to：談及，參考；apply to：接洽，適用予；lead to：導(dǎo)致；amount t0：合計，總共達(dá)…，只有選擇lead才能使本句意思完整、準(zhǔn)確。
7．A．只要用心注意上面那句話就可以很容易地找到答案，顯然本句想說“現(xiàn)在有一項(xiàng)新的研究想評估這種速效治療劑究竟效力有多大”。
8．A．本句考查的是語法。根據(jù)所給的動詞，我們可以猜到本句想說的是“Joshua Salomon說，療程較短的治療計劃可能意味著不僅僅是更多病人被治好”。這里從語法分析，應(yīng)該是缺一個定語，修飾patients，cure是一個及物動詞，病人應(yīng)是被治療者：8項(xiàng)to cure不能表示被動；C和D雖然有表示被動的意思，但是C是“正在被治療”，D是“已經(jīng)被治療”，兩者隱含的時態(tài)在這里均不合適，只有A才是恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?BR> 9．D．前句說到更多病人可以被治愈，根據(jù)推理，后句應(yīng)該是“將感染傳遞給別人的傳染病人就會更少”，因?yàn)榍昂髢删鋵?shí)際上具有因果關(guān)系。這里必須用比較級fewer，因?yàn)閒ew是表示“不多的，幾乎沒有的(=not many)”，而fewer則只是與以前比較“更少”，并沒有明確多少。
10．C．只有填c項(xiàng)tested(檢驗(yàn))才能符合上下文意思，其它三項(xiàng)不僅詞義不合適，詞的用法也不對。
11．D．空白處的上一句實(shí)際上起到提示作用：“兩個月的治療方案可以防止大約20%的新病例”，后句自然應(yīng)是“也可能防止大約20%的結(jié)核病死亡”。其它三個選項(xiàng)詞義均相反。
12．B．上面兩句說到“可以防止大約20%的新病例和可能防止大約20%的死亡”，這自然是“降低”，絕不可熊是“增加”，更不是“創(chuàng)作品”、“收藏品”。
13．A．空白處的上一句實(shí)際上也起到提示作用，可以推測，本句應(yīng)該是“制訂DOTS計劃”，而四個選項(xiàng)中只有A項(xiàng)有“制訂”的意思，計劃也不可能是“發(fā)明”，從上下文分析，更不可能是“推遲”或“拒絕”。
14．C。DOTS計劃其中就包含“直接觀察”的意思，本句中也說到“醫(yī)務(wù)人員看著結(jié)核病人每天服藥”，目的自然是要“確信他們繼續(xù)治療”，C項(xiàng)make sure正是“確信”的意思。
15．D．research后面常用0n或into，偶爾也用for或after，例如：a research for/afterfacts(對事實(shí)的調(diào)查)，但不與其它三個選項(xiàng)連用。
